DearGrigory,

Ihave received the article about the Swedish
strike.[1]It’s a very good one. I have sent it to Paris together with
the end of my article on
Bogdanov[2](which came to 100 lines
—2 pages ofProletaryin the supplement). I don’t know
now whether you will approve it all. I leave itentirelyto your judgement: I am so sick of writing this article that
now I don’t know whether it wouldn’t be better to scrap
thewhole, and reply to Bogdanov literally in a couple of
words about his scandal-mongering regarding the “property
of the whole group”. It’s up to you!

Ishall write about Plekhanov. The Swedish strike article
should go in as the leader.

Bestwishes,Lenin
